The Peony

Forget roses. Forget Lilies, daisies, geraniums. My favorite garden flower is the Peony. And mine are just beginning to bloom this week. They remind me of my childhood visiting Grandpa Byington’s house in Brigham City. They remind me of our little house in Portland where I first experienced having a peony in my very own garden. They remind me of moving into our home in Sandpoint just as the peonies were coming into bloom. These beautiful ones pictured below were a birthday gift from my sister that I planted several years ago.
